Welcome to an in-depth look at the Mandalay, a highly sought-after condominium complex located in Okanagan Landing. I’m Lisa Salt with RE/MAX Vernon Salt Fowler, and today, I'll be your guide through this fantastic property. Our team sold many of these units shortly after their construction, even before the lower building—this one right behind me—was completed. Let’s dive into what makes Mandalay special.

The History of Mandalay

The Mandalay was constructed in two phases. The back building, completed in 2009, was followed by the front building, which wrapped up around 2010. Although the initial developer couldn't finish the project, it was eventually taken over and completed to a high standard. While Mandalay isn't directly on the water, it boasts spectacular lake views from every floor, with the sixth floor offering particularly breathtaking vistas.

Prime Location

Located just across the street from the Vernon Yacht Club, residents can easily take advantage of the club’s membership options. Whether you own a boat or enjoy the social aspects, the yacht club provides amenities like boat moorage (with a waitlist) and social memberships for dining and events.

On-Site Amenities

Mandalay offers a variety of on-site amenities designed to enhance your living experience:

• Outdoor Pool and Hot Tub: Open seasonally, perfect for a summer retreat.
• Fitness Area: A small but convenient space for maintaining fitness routines.
• Waterfall Feature: Adds beauty to the landscape.
• Secured Parking: Most units come with two parking spaces, though some have one. Additional parking can sometimes be rented from other residents.
• Storage Lockers: Available in the parking area.

Detailed Building Overview

Back Building:

• Four stories, 20 units (five per floor).
• End units are slightly smaller (1,423 sq. ft.) but have extra side windows for natural light.
• Middle units are larger (over 1,600 sq. ft.) and include separate laundry rooms.
• Powered by a geothermal system.

Front Building:

• Two stories, eight units (four per floor).
• Heat pumps for heating and cooling.
• Features added during construction make it slightly more updated.
• Parking is underneath the unit itself, making it quieter with fewer neighbors.

Nearby Attractions

The location offers easy access to several local attractions:

• Paddle Wheel Park: Public beach with pickleball and tennis courts, boat launch, and a large park.
• Okanagan Landing Rowing Club: Located at Paddle Wheel Park.
• Beach Volleyball: Available at Paddle Wheel Park.
• Okanagan Landing Hall: Historic venue for events.
• 1516 Pub: A popular spot within walking distance for casual dining and socializing.

Community Rules and Regulations

Mandalay is pet-friendly with no specific restrictions, though pets must be leashed. Rental rules are strict; units cannot be rented for less than two years, ensuring a stable community without short-term renters.

Why Choose Mandalay?

If you desire proximity to the lake without being directly on it, Mandalay offers a great alternative at a more affordable price. Though strata fees are higher, the extensive amenities justify the cost.
